How does it work?

Maybe you have done box/case breaks before where you buy a random slot or team and then someone busts up the case or box live online while you watch. This group set break is the same concept, but there is a guaranteed checklist of what will be included–an entire 1956 Topps complete set! That’s right, 340 slots are up for sale in this set break, so some lucky winner will get all time greats Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, and Hank Aaron! Others will take home Hall of Fame players like Banks, Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, and even more! This set is completely loaded with Hall of Fame members! Every slot will receive a random card from the set, and the randomization will be broadcast live!

Rules:

1. Payments are to be made via PayPal, check, or money order. Payment is due within three days after break is completely full. If payment is not received, your slots will be surrendered and resold. (Add the item to your card, choose checkout, and check payment if you want to wait and pay once the group break is full. You can still send payment via PayPal at a later date. You slot is not reserved until you click “Place Order”). NOTE: If you want to pay via check or money order, please make your purchase early and mail the check right away. Shoot me an e-mail letting me know the check/MO is in the mail, so I can be looking for it. burl@burlssports.com

2. Each purchase is for one slot in the set break. You are guaranteed to receive a card from the 1956 Topps Complete Set for each slot you purchase.
3. The random drawing will be done live via online video (ustream.tv/channel/burlssports-com) and recorded for those who won’t be able to watch it live. (I may change the broadcast venue, so stay tuned.)

4. Once you purchase a slot on the listing, you agree to pay for the spot reserved.

Communication:

1. Once the group set break is full, you will receive an e-mail notifying you to send your payment. After this e-mail notification is sent out, you will have three full days to submit payment. If payment is not received within that time-frame, you forfeit your slots and your slots will be resold. (Note: It is preferable to pay for your slots before the break is full.)

2. Once all slots are paid for, you will receive an e-mail detailing the broadcast information for the set break. If you are unable to view the break live, the video will be posted on this site for your viewing convenience.

Thank you for your participation in this 1956 Topps Complete Set group break.
